I’m in flight now headed back home from my quick jaunt down to Atlanta to speak to the fly fishing club. It was a great trip. My show went awesome and I got to catch shoal bass yesterday and chase carp this morning. Friend and this week’s host, Austin Kane, got us on the water with his friend Cope Walker to fish some flats on the outskirts of Atlanta.
There was a weather change. Yesterday was shorts and t-shirts but today we wore sweatshirts and rain gear. We launched Copes Hog Island Boat from a scenic park full of dog walkers and baby carriages. Cope and Austin poled me along for a few hours but unfortunately we saw only one carp and the intelligent and clever fish disappeared before I got a cast.
We called it after about two hours on the water. That’s about when the rain picked up. No need to get all my stuff wet just before flying home when the fish weren’t around. And I need to save some shoulder bullets every chance I get.
I won’t get to Duluth till midnight then home around 1:30 am. It’s a slow drive at night with all the deer in WI. Next cast could be for musky this week or could be in the jungles of Borneo next. Stay tuned for some big medicine starting soon!
In the meantime, please visit my webstore for “Christmas Gifts for the Angler that has Everything” and stuff those stockings with my fish decals from “Pescador on the Fly”.
